SLF trash now but been close to a similar situation before. (Not my error)
In my case, the check pilot was well behind the aircraft I was flying and made a sudden, surprise decision that nearly cost me and mine dearly.
The comments regarding this incident are possibly lost on this pilot, he is likely to be leaving aviation soon one way or the other. However the comments are extremely relevant to other drivers who will follow him in doing something on the edge.
Always on balance, I vote with my feet.
